As your online business grows there will come times when you will need to meet with clients or fellow workers. Sure you can use the telephone or an Instant Messaging Service. I’ve done this.

The disadvantages are that when you both need to see something online you’re stuck with sharing website addresses and links manually. You either have to spell them out on the phone or type them on your IM screen. This is time consuming and frustrating too.

It gets worse when you are trying to show the person on the other end how to do something online. For example if you want to teach him how to open a file then use an ftp program to move that file, talking them through it can be difficult if your client has limited ability with ftp programs.

If you use an online meeting, both of you (or lots more than two people) can all be on on the same website or sharing files or working on the same documents. You all are working together in real time. Not only does this make things easier, it proves that your ability to get the job done has bumped up a notch.

You can now use web meetings to teach classes, to show potential clients your work, to help other people in your line of business and to get noticed and make a name for yourself.
